Family Arts Festival: Events at Chickenshed

Interactive Theatre for young people.
Tales from Shed: Hugely entertaining shows for 0-6 year olds!

Tales from the Shed are vibrant, interactive theatre shows that are perfect for young children. They are informal, lively and amazingly engaging as the performers and audience share the same space - children are always encouraged to make a lot of noise and to make the story happen.

We guarantee that every show will be fun, really silly and that there will be plenty of colourful puppets and live songs.Every week we present different stories featuring the same much loved characters – from Can-Can the beautiful bird to laid back Lion Down and The Thing That Goes Blurgh!

For ages 0-6 years.
Length: 50 - 60 minutes.


A musical in our studio
Alice On The Underground

A fast moving and entertaining musical - a thoroughly modern take on a well-known story!

Alice is a spirited teenager who yearns to find love and excitement beyond her humdrum life on a London estate. Running away from home, Alice is befriended by a break-dancing, busking White Rabbit, who takes her on a wild, magical and humorous subterranean journey on the underground. Her adventures become curiouser and curiouser as together they encounter increasingly bizarre characters in London’s sinister underbelly. But does Alice find what she’s looking for?

With hints and suggestions of the familiar yet dream-like figures from Alice In Wonderland, the show also draws upon the stark realities of twenty-first century London life, and all combines to create a fast-moving, entertaining musical production.
